how is water getting inside?

Make sure the drive unit is rotated with the off/on switch on the bottom also check that the drive unit wires coming out at the end are not letting the case completely close.

we are not having a problem of water getting inside of it......we love our opener other than when my UPS people force it open and then it doesn't want to shut properly but thats not the gates problem........

You need to double check to make sure you installed it properly. If you installed it hanging at and angle instead of level, rain water could drizzle inside. Water will also get inside if you forgot to mount it right-side-up after you've finished programming it.I normally just seal around the edges with a bead of silicone to prevent any water / insects from getting inside.You could try that and see if it helps.Cheers, Maurice

the control box isn't sealed need to seal it. mine is the same. the only problem is if you have to get inside the box you have to pry the lid off.

Yes, it isn't properly sealed. We had a problem with ants getting inside. We sealed it and no more problems. I also suggest you ground your gate, if it isn't already grounded. Lightning will take it out...even if it isn't a direct hit. We found this out the hard way. I called the company and their response was pretty much, "Duh..you should have grounded the gate." This isn't stated anywhere in the literature. I guess they want you to just, 'know,' things, even if you are a first time gate owner. Don't expect Mighty Mule to stand behind their product.

It's water soluble, so the area touched by water will simply dissolve. It is meant to be an indoor sand box.

Make sure not to overfill it, or this phenomenon (as the manual calls it) occurs. There's a mark for the maximum water level on the inside, and it's lower than one would expect.

That's a good question; I've got mine positioned under the porch, with the door facing away from the elements, so I don't think too much water gets in. As "mim" points out, there's a pretty thick lip at the bottom of the doorway--any small amount of water that manages to get in probably ends up underneath the base insulation. We'll see when we do a Spring cleanout.

It is quite simple. It is constructed in such a way, that I wipe it off most times with a clean cloth and occasionally spray it with a garden hose. No water gets inside.

I'm not sure but there isn't supposed to be a lot of water on the inside. If water continually seems to be on the speakers one of them might be leaking. If not then you shouldn't have any problems with it hope this helped!

I have not had it in the rain but I don't see how water could get through; however if you have wind with rain you may get wet from the sides.

just blow or shake it out. most of water is accumulated in hose if you use the hose, if not just let gravity and a litle shake help you get it out. elementery watson

Water runs off the top. We've had some major storms this summer and nothing has gotten wet inside the box. This is a great purchase.

It has a steel cap with small holes in it for water to flow through. Some small pieces of my frozen berries I put in it sometimes flow through but love it anyway. Got as gift from my daughter and use it often. Like it much!

I think there's a plug at the bottom to let the internal water out. You'll have to look and see if it's there. I remember looking for the same thing. The manual is not at all clear on this.

It goes around the outside of the small bag that is already installed in the unit. Remove the small bag/frame and slip it into the larger micro-mesh bag so that the opening forms a slot for the water to flow into. When installed properly the water will first get filtered by the small bag. Anything that's able to get through will then be filtered by the larger micro-mesh bag.

The top comes down pretty secure. I haven't noticed any water inside. However a little water could come in around the top during a hard rain.

Some water will come through but does not act like a sieve with the water pouring though it. We will be putting ours up again this year. THIRD year for it and it is wearing well.

I have never had any water get in that I am aware of. It simply has a top with a wide lip and inner wall on the cover that helps create a snug fit. I don't go into it often, but have never noticed that anything has been wet. One item I store in it is charcoal and the bag is always dry.

Yes, water does come through it. I don't think there's anyway you could hang it so it would not be ruined if water accumulated in it. Your stuff will get wet under it.

The air moving through it passes through a wet medium. It relies on the furnace fan to move the air.
